Baltimore preparation

I am finally getting a chance to work on VO-related items, in  
preparation for the next meeting. This week, I am using the datamodel- 
derived tables to build classes for the database behind my SimDB/ 
SimDAP project. With luck, I will be getting in contact with Claudio  
to compare VOTable representations for SimDAP, and following up with  
Gerard on how to manage entries in a SimDB, both within the next  
week. Then I can spend time on the SimDAP draft with Claudio, and  
contribute to the SimDB note, if it has moved along.

My plan for Baltimore is to present a working service that is  
interoperable with both VisIVO, and our local analysis tools.

Creative algorithms are cool,
